NEW YEAR, 4 New Sessions of Painting and Mixed Media

SPRING!

“It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.”

― Rainer Maria Rilke

Spring gives us opportunities to observe the rebirth of life, the growth of nature’s living things, like trees, budding plants, new birdsong, rain - and more daylight. We tend to find our own way of moving outward and practicing our ideas and skills with a new energy. Intentions are blooming, ideas are springing to life and It’s a great time to create! We hope that you will join us on Sunday mornings from 9:30-11:00 AM as we start more lessons.

Each session fee is $100 for 4 classes. It is much easier for us to offer classes in a session of 4 weeks. (We will record for those who may miss one.) But we also offer the option of a drop-in class for $30 per week for those who, for whatever reason, cannot commit to a session.

Upon registration, we will send you a supply list for what’s needed for each 4 week session. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Eileen or Denise…we are happy to chat. Eileen Blodgett. 530-277-9919

Welcome to Acrylic Painting sessions with Denise Wey and Eileen Blodgett. We have been very grateful to have been able to continue our weekly painting classes with our students throughout the past year, with the help of technology and Zoom- and with an extraordinary group of painters, who also enjoyed the chance to paint together from their homes. Now that we are entering the time of year where we renew ourselves with possibilities and more daylight, it may be the perfect time to continue your creative process - or to just get started, if you are a beginner. All classes are scheduled to meet through Zoom - until we are able to safely gather again at the studio. Once that happens, we hope to also offer distance learning via Zoom in our studio classroom.
